Detroit trying to stop the bleeding

The program, dubbed "Make Detroit Home," will award more than $500,000 in benefits to over 300 participants, according to the MoveDetroit coalition, which launched the program. These include entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners, as well as current residents, former Detroiters and newcomers willing to relocate. The initiative offers stipends of up to $15,000 to help cover home down payments, renovations, rent or business expenses, according to Realtor.com. Additional applicants may qualify for $1,000 grants to offset moving costs, security deposits and expenses such as gym memberships or meal services.

Sounds like a good deal.

But this isn't a new concept.

Countries like Italy and Japan have made such offers to attract people to move to certain towns in their country.

They usually pay a yearly stipend and provide you with a house to fix up and land to manage. You just have to commit to living there for a certain amount of time.

Best of luck to Detroit may they attract some new blood to revitalize the city.

If only we cared enough to provide school children with such accessories.
